We sell businesses with revenues between $1M and $30M and we do it well. We will provide a no-charge, professional valuation (more than a "broker's opinion of value"). We will "package" your company professionally including a well-written Confidential Business Review and we will market your company aggresively according to the plan we present to you.

We will sell your company.

Compass Point's deal professionals and affiliated attorneys and CPAs are experienced with both asset and stock sales. We maintain a database of private equity funds that are active in mid-market M&A and we have relationships with venture capitalists that are active in northern California and northern Nevada.

We understand, certainly more than most, the power of the internet in marketing our companies. We optimize our listings for search-engine optimization and perform keyword Google marketing. We also maintain premium paid positions on the business for sale web sites. It makes a difference.

All this, and we do it using the same no-upfront-fee structure as a business broker (national M&A firms typically charge up front fees).

If you are looking for someone to represent you, please ask to speak to the seller and buyer of the last few deals we have done, and do the same for other firms. You'll find we work closely with our clients on all aspects of the transaction - from deal structuring, tax strategies and financing.
